25th Amendment to the Constitution (1967)
Passed by Congress July 6, 1965.
Ratified February 10, 1967.
Replaced part of Article II, section 1 of the Constitution, originally written in 1783.
Section 1.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Section 2.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Section 3.
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

I never really post my thoughts on anything political but removing Obama? Seriously? People do realize the crap storm he walked into wasn't his fault. Did they forget the idiot before him for 8 years who ran the country into the ground? You can't fix that in a couple years. I don't get on the "Obama is bad we must get rid of him" band wagon and I don't jump on the other one where they love him. I do not like or dislike him. What do you expect him to do in two years? I mean seriously.

The day before the next presidential election, we will still have people crying over Buuuuuuush.
Obama has had plenty of time and opportunity to right the wrongs of the previous monkey. Instead, he went full steam ahead with the baton…just like a relay runner.
